git-ls-remote(1) Manual Page

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
commit IDs.

OPTIONS

-h

--heads

-t

--tags

Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
These options are not mutually exclusive; when given
both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
displayed.

-u <exec>

--upload-pack=<exec>

Specify the full path of linkgit:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote
host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
user.

<repository>

Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
$GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
the local repository.

<refs>…

When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>… are
specified, only references matching the given patterns
are displayed.
